I’ve owned both the Nova Pre/220 combo and the 220se. My brother still currently owns a Nova Pre/ 220.
My only complaints are relinility issues (Peachtree and Wally are both outstanding with customer service) and the volume control via the remote control goes from conversation level to zero with a slight touch of the volume level.
Apartfrom that, I’d definitely buy another 220se at that price. It looks cool in my oppinon and it really does sound good. I personally like the dac’s sound and the amp section has the power to push anything I have thrown at it.
I think you should buy it. You’ll also be able to sell it secondhand later for not much loss at all so you can enjoy for a year or two and move on pretty easily.
